The shooting Of Ben. Sh ly
by Deputy Sheriff Langston, brief
mention OF which was made in our
last issue, created considerable ex-
element. When the facts became
fully known, they reflected great
credit upon Mr.. Langston as an
honest, fearless and efficient off
Ger. The facts briefly stated, as
testified to, before the Coroner's
Jury, show that a requisitiou had
been made by the Governor of
Texas for the arrest of the man
Shelly, against whom three indict-
ments had been found for horse
and cattle stealing. The requisi
ton was forwarded from Santa Fe
to Sheriff Brent, and by lam,
placed in the hands of Mr.. Langs-
ton, who arrested Shelly on last
Friday the 23rd, and took hun to
his house preparatory to starting
to Lincoln with his prisoner. She
ly got Langston, while at the house
and whilst the team was being
harnessed up, to draw him power
of attorney in favor OF one Owens,
so that he could dispose of wag-
on and team. Just as LanGston
had finished writing the instru
ment, Owens rode up to the gate
on horse back and entered the
house. Shelly then made dash
for the horse, mounted him and
put the horse to his speed. Lang
ston rushed to the gate, command
ed Shelly to halt, three times,
and then fired two shots, when
Shelly fell from the horse with a
bail through his brain, about 70
feet east from the gate. Letters
were found on Shely's body, pos
itivoly identifying him as the man
and also IS to the tact
that he was a member Of one OF
-he most notorious cattle thieving
gangs of Texas. We suppress
the publication of the letters in the
Of justice, as we hope that
the rest of the gang may speedily
ind themselves in the hands o
The law.
Mr.. S. j. Woodland, who knew
Shelly in Texas in ~, informs us
hat Shelly was then noted as a
lard case, and a horse thief.
In Justice to Mr. Langston, we
publish the verdict of the jury i'll

-.IE Bills FOR FUNERALS.
Why tndcTiaacrS discourage Ex-
trIvaShat Funerals.

Pow do unlcrtakcrs manage to col
lect their bills-tLcy so seldom figure
in the courts = asked reporter of one
of tie craft in New York.
Among the poorer classes mainly by
ins.allments,' was the reply. '.The
fact is, however, that such bills are
paid much more readily than might be
imagined. Most folks don't care to
have their departed relatives buried as
dcadhcads. Beside the cemetery au-
thorities help us to get our money in
some instances. At Greenwood n per-
NIT to reopen a grave will not be given
until the undertaken has been settled
with for the former interment. The
undertaken also when he provides the
grave as well as the coffin and funeral
equipment usually hClds the deed until
he has been settled with. Again fami-
lies generally employ the same under
taker, and If they have not settled be-
fore, they settle for a former funeral, be-
fore asking the undertaken to bury the
next one.
''One OF the queercst incidents that
ever came under my observation, added
the man of professional mourning" was
the case of a widow who owed us a bill
for about twelve months. She was
young and pretty and had two children,
and managed to get along by working
in store for about SO week. We did
not care TO dun her for the money,
under the circumstances, and we
thought she would pay when she could.
Wei, one day, Just a year after her hus-
bands death, i'll she walked with an
other man, whom she introduced rs her
husband, and he asked for the bill and
settled it. Showed he was an honest
man; but he was legally liable for the
bill anyway.
Zone thing we undertakers are not
sorry to see, and that is less disposition
to extravaganza in funerals. We would
sooner have a cheaper job, and get our
pay promptly, than big bill and wait
a long time, or not get it at all. 1t
comes rather hard on woman to pay
SO or 500, or even more, by taking in
washing, as | have seen done, and
have often taken off big Slice of a. bill
Just ont of sympathy for such people,
and a good many other undertakcrs do
the same. No; undertakers as Il class
are not in favor of eXtravagant funerals,
Tor some of the extravaganza is very
liable to come out OF the undertakera."
